Submission GuidelinesHello,
After used the new "Image Recognition Tool" a few days, I think you could improve it :
> by adding the dimensional constraints in front of each of the pre-trained models,
> by adding a true tool to divide the training data correctly (in order to have an equivalent number of images for each of the labels)
> at least, allow the tool to use black & white images (I wanted to test it on the MNIST, but the tool tells me that it necessarily needs RGB images) ?
Question : do you in the future allow the user to choose between CPU or GPU usage ?
In any case, thank you again for this new tool, it is certainly perfectible, but very simple to use, and I sincerely think that it will allow a greater number of people to understand the many use cases made possible thanks to image recognition.
Thank you again

Thank you again.

I have a PDF of 27 pages and each page is identical. The headers, footers and data are static in positioning on each page. It would be great if I could define the text to parse out on the first page, then that could be used to parse out all of the pages in the PDF. It would make the tool far more useful.
Add an option to cancel an occurrence currently queued to run without it removing, or completing, the original schedule. Not sure if this is by design or a bug but when you cancel a workflow that's in queue, it sets the scheduled workflow to "Completed" even though you just wanted to stop that occurrence and still keep the workflow schedule “Active”.
Also, adding an option to PAUSE a scheduled module. This is useful when you need to temporarily suspend a workflow from running, but save the hassle of re-configuring the schedule when you want to turn it back on.
I have a big need to input files created in a .sqlite format and also write out to files as .sqlite that contain spatial object fields. Currently they are not recognized as spatial objects. BlobConvert is not able to convert the spatial fields from the input correctly (it gets close) so the result is that we are unable to utilize any spatial fields from or to these files.
In the Report Map tool, I'm locked from changing the 'Background Color' menu, and the color appears to be set to R=253, G=254, B=255, which is basically white.
However, when we use our TomTom basemap, we see that the background is actually blue, despite what's listed in the Background Color window. (This goes beyond the 'Ocean' layer, and appears to cover all space 'under' the continents and ocean.) Since we oftren print large maps of the east coast, this tends to use a lot of blue ink. I've attached a sample image to illustrate this.
My solve to-date has been to edit the underlying TeleAtlas text file and change the default background (117 157 181) to white (255 255 255). Unfortunately, we lose these changes with each data update.
Could Alteryx unlock the Background Color menu, and have it affect the 'base' layer, underneath oceans and continents in TomTom maps? Not sure how it might affect aerial imagery.
Please have Alteryx check the status of any output files for read-only or locked status. This change would prevent processing a file for an hour then having the process fail because the file was open or had improper permission.
Idealy, the output tool should ask the user what to do rather than fail and lose all the work.
In the new Intelligence Suite tools, it would be extremely useful to have the option to add n-gram (combining words/tokens ) in the Topic Modeling Text Mining Tool.
This is important in many NLP topic modeling scenarios.
It would provide more flexibility to build better NLP models.

When you click on 'Open results in a new window' or in when viewing results in the 'Results - Browse' sometimes it would be nice to have a freeze pane feature so you can pin column(s) to the left and scroll to the right.
I run a report generator that can leave you with having to save one at a time several files.
It would be nice to be able to save multiple files at once. Whether using a check box or a shift select method. If this method already exists, Great! Where can I find out how to do it. If not can it be an added feature?
Currently, the map input for an application defaults either to a global view of the United States or to a fixed boundary. Usng a chained application, it would be an extremely useful option to be able to specifiy spatial objects (points, lines, polygons) in the first application and then allow the second application to zoom in appropriately to those spatial objects. This could be done by either specifying a custom zoom level and using those spatial objects as a center through a reference layer, or by allowing the zoom's boundary to contain all the spatial objects (similar to the map reporting tools).
Would be nice to group workflows and their schedules because it gets confusing if you have a lot of schedules/workflows in the schedule view.
Especially if you have more than one schedule for a workflow.
One way could be to create folder system or to manage it through the meta info like macros.
I have recently been building some reports and have some suggestions for later releases of Alteryx.
1. Map tool – have option to put border around map within the properties window. Currently, I have to use a layout tool to put a border on a map.
2. Map tool – Same thing with legend (especially when legend is output as a separate field
3. All tools – be able to put a browse tool after the tool using the Properties window. I was thinking right above the “Apply” button (check mark bottom left corner)
Just some thoughts that would make life better.
It would be helpful to redirect Help Documentation searches to the latest version number. When Googling problems I often get help page links that are for version 9.5 while I'm on version 11.7. I'll usually change the version number in the URL to get to the right documentation. It would be great if the version <11 documentation would automatically port forward to the current documentation with the option to go to older documentation for users on those versions.
Option to select start and end time per day
e.g. between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM every 2 hours
I have records of with several address fields per store: address 1, address 2, address 3.(e.g. po box 123, 456 main st, suite 600).
I geocode each address field in different iterations, but I want my final input to contain the best geocoding level. e.g. Actual before Zip9.
Can we rank the geocoding levels like this below? Then it will be easier to filter out the best geocoding level.
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Data-Sources/Loading-MDF-File/m-p/55264#M3640
It would be great to have the possibility to load .mdf files.
In Powerpoint, you can right-click on a picture and replace it with a different picture without losing formatting.
Similar functionality would be useful for replacing custom macros.
Currently, the only option is to insert the new custom macro and then reset all incoming and outgoing connections. Some downstream tools (e.g., crosstab) lose their existing settings and that has to be reset too. On complicated workflows, this can introduce silent errors.
This capability would be especially helpful for team coding, where different team members are revising different modules for a parent workflow.
Currently:
Right-clicking on the canvas shows Insert > Macro > (choose from list of open macros)
Right-clicking on an existing macro shows Open Macro
New functionality:
Right-clicking on an existing macro shows Replace/Change Macro > (choose from list of open macros)
Hello!
I recently had a use-case that needed me to start using the text mining tools for a reporting based workflow, and i had pretty good success. However, my workflow does not always have data being brought through it, and when 0 results are supplied to a Text Pre-processing tool, it produces a bug and log file. I imagine this is a small fix, just a weird one to run into.
Steps to replicate:
1- Add a text input tool with some dummy text values as part of a field
2- Add a text pre-processing tool to the workflow, and configure it to use this field and English.
3- add a filter tool, prior to the text pre-processing tool, to filter out any valid results
4- Run the workflow
As the data cleansing tool does not behave similar, I fully believe this to be an unintended outcome.
